>   The view <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>data_type_privileges</TT
> identifies all
   data type descriptors that the current user has access to, by way
   of being the owner of the described object or having some privilege
   for it.  A data type descriptor is generated whenever a data type
   is used in the definition of a table column, a domain, or a
   function (as parameter or return type) and stores some information
   about how the data type is used in that instance (for example, the
   declared maximum length, if applicable).  Each data type
   descriptor is assigned an arbitrary identifier that is unique
   among the data type descriptor identifiers assigned for one object
   (table, domain, function).  This view is probably not useful for
   applications, but it is used to define some other views in the
   information schema.
